When was the first exploding shell created?

The exploding shell is older than the cannon. Among the first uses of gunpowder was to create bombs or grenades- a casing filled with gunpowder and a fuse. This could be thrown, catapulted, slung, etc. Early cannon used shot (solid projectiles) or shell (hollow, gunpowder filled). In the Star Spangled Banner, the term "bombs bursting in air" refers to an exploding shell.


Why didn't some shells explode?

In order for a shell to explode, it must have some sort of detonation trigger. Thus trigger is usually called a fuse. The most common reason for a shell to NOT explode was a faulty fuse. Millions of fuses were made during the war, and some percentage of these fuses had manufacturing defects in them. These defects were small enough to be missed during quality checks, but still large enough to cause the fuse to malfunction and fail to ignite. In other cases, the fuse itself had a faulty design, and would frequently fail to detonate, even when properly manufactured. The US Mark 14 torpedo of the early war years was a prime example. Other problems with the fuse, such as poor storage and maintenance, could also lead it to malfunction and fail to detonate. Even if the fuse ignited, it was still possible for the main explosive charge to fail to detonate, for reasons similar to why the fuse wouldn't go off (manufacturing defects, poor storage or maintenance, bad design, etc.).

How did people make bombs in World War 2?

In factories. The bomb casings were made from steel forgings. They were hollow, filled with explosives, had tail fins to guide them, and a fuse to explode them.


Where you can buy landmines?

Nowhere. Landmines are illegal explosive devices in virtually all countries. Private individuals or entities cannot legally acquire landmines. They are available for government (military) procurement and use ONLY. The outer shell of a landmine can sometimes be purchased at various online war-replica artifact stores. You might find demilitarized ones at your local army surplus store. This will include NONE of the explosives, fragmentation, or fuse parts of landmines.
